Nobody is picking us to win

But I still contend that if the Bengals a really a top team they should win this game.

The question is are the Ravens really as bad as they looked last week.  It is really hard to get a full understanding of a teams strengths and weaknesses in just 2 games.

I haven't seen either one of their games.  I do believe they played good defense against the Broncos.  Don't know what happened against the Raiders.  Being at home is an advantage.  But the Bengals broke down that wall last year.

This game is just as big for the Bengals, so I see them matching the emotions.  If they do, that would seem to cancel out one of their edges.  Come out strong, keep the crowd out of it and let that desperation sink them.
